I had 2 535s. a 2013 xdrive and now a 2015 535 msport RWD. I will never get an Xdrive again. the steering felt weird and artificial, but with the RWD, I feel like I have control over my sedan. I never had any issues in rain and light snow.

Everyone have a safe holiday, and remember those we have lost.

Great...there’s nothing like trying it out for yourself to determine if it works for you. I hope the purchase goes smoothly and you have many miles of enjoyment.

I have a 2015 535i Xdrive and got xdelete for it to make it rwd. Perfect for the summer time, and then in the winter I just turn on awd!

I'm itching to get back in an f10. My last one had 102k miles, but was in perfect condition. It got totaled while parked in my apt garage. Over $9500 damage. I mastered the art of RWD. Just have to get used to the "slippery" M steering whedl.

The biggest difference I noticed between the RWD and AWD was the front suspension seems stiff and has less travel with AWD.

OP following up. Got my 2011 Mojave 535i after insurance payout. Fully loaded:
Sport Trans, staggered 19 in wheels, heated and cooled multi contour seats, rear climate control, power sunshade, HUD, LDW, surround camera.

New car and a couple of pic of the old one. I hope they are not too big. I suck at tech stuff.

What's there to think/worry about, BMW's were meant to be RWD, don't let anyone else convince you otherwise.

Here's one of the older photos of my RWD.




Just be aware of sport+ mode if you got one equiped with DPH, that can get dangerous in wet/slippery/snow - it's not very consistent in how much it actually "helps" the driver.
